I am concerned about the veneers breaking. I prefer porcelain veneers as I love my coffee and I hear composite can stain easily. However, I heard that composite veneer is much easier to repair if it breaks.

Answer: Can I Get Veneers if I Grind My Teeth
Yes you can get veneers if you continue to be committed to wearing your nightguard. Go with the emax porcelain as it will not stain and is stronger than what we have used in the past. The number of veneers I see chipping has gone down significantly with this material. Composite veneers have poor longevity wear wise and color wise.

Answer: Bruxism and Veneers
A few things I would like you to think about when choosing what is right for you. Do not go for the cheaper more eaay to repair, but look for something that is a little more durable and esthetically pleasing and life like since these are your front teeth, Another thing to think about is even if you wear your bite guard at night, do you grind your teeth during the day and if you do, you need to determine if you are wearing down the front teeth, If you are, the night guard will help at night, but will not help with the excessive force placed on those veneers during the day from grinding. Check with your dentist which teeth are worn down from bruxism....if they are the front teeth, I would find a neuromuscular dentist who is trained to correct your bite and eliminate the grinding and stress on your teeth! Good luck and do your homework and seek consultations from other dentists before you make this decision!
